This weeks article will center
itself around many of the things
we already know about the soil.
We base our lives around what
we own. We take much pride in

these things. But we all know that
if care is not taken of them, we
will lose them.
Soil is the best example of this
that I know of. If we are not
careful, one finds himself saying
“It doesn’t matter how I care for
the land. It’s value to sell to the
real estater will always be the
same.” But we know this is wish
ful thinking and not in tune with
our desire to be called stewards
of the land.
To be the steward, we are a
conservationist. A good con
servationist is somewhat selfish,
for he knows how to save (con
serve) what he had and make it
work for him, planning every
move so that the fertilizer and
soil stays with him, not just for
himself but for his neighbors. For
we must feed others from the soil
not just now but in the future.
Let us not forget that just
because a few would rob us of our
land for secondary importance of
our day, that it by no means
lessens our responsibility to care
for and nurture this most

Lancaster Farming, Saturday, June 24,1972 —
valuable hfegiving source of life
Water is what we need to raise
good crops. And if managed
(controlled), land, trees and
wildlife are protected
We must, as landowners, be
responsible for assessing the
need to instill conservation
practices upon the land. There
are six basic steps to consider for
each acre of land:
1 Control erosion on cultivated
land
2 Terrace land to allow for slow
movement of the water.
3 Plant idle land to a crop
(trees).
4. Drain wet land to make
productive.
5. Encourage wildlife to help the
balance of nature.
6. Construct water-holding areas
to slow rapid runoff as well as
help supply us with
recreation.
Our best efforts can only be
accomplished providing we have
an adequate method of approach,
and that method of development
should be a farm plan. This
should be done with the aid of
trained conservationists. All
farms should have a soil con
servation plan, if we truly believe
that we are Stewards of the Soil.
